Bearing the idea in mind, Sharang started the preparation from mid October. Collecting the essentials from NCIIA, he came out with his to-do list:
'''1. Event branding'''What are the '''''key components of the gap''''' between engineering and entrepreneurship?
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Why entrepreneurship and who is an entrepreneur;</li>
<li>How to assess an idea; how to make it product and sell it; </li><li>How to expand and where to find the money; </li>
<li>How to protect the product.</li>
</ul>
'''2. Speakers<br/>'''
With the theme to introduce the basic knowledge of entrepreneurship, Sharang started to seek for speakers with experience on these areas. Contacting '''''alumni''''' is obviously a good way. Sharang also '''''made good use of''''' '''''location''''': New York City. Sharang reached out to Professor Rob Marano. Rob is the organizer of Entrepreneurship Society at the Cooper Union, as well as serial entrepreneur.
