Minimum Lovable Interaction: Introducing HCI frameworks as part of the "zero to one" startup creation phase
In the zero to one phase, introducing HCI as part of the venture creation Lean Startup process
Speaker: Rahul Saxena, Director of CREATE-X at Georgia Tech
Abstract: Treat a startup not as “a product to ship,” but as a socio-technical interaction system to be iterated until the smallest repeatable interaction reliably creates user progress. Optimize that interaction first; everything else (features, pricing, growth) composes around it.
