Abstract
Entrepreneurship as a private economic initiative in Estonia became legal with Gorbachev Perestroika at the end of the long period of Soviet occupation. Therefore, political agenda of transition from command to market economy also marks entrepreneurship development trajectory. Efforts of the Estonian government, for ICT development, from the 1990s, and entrepreneurship promotion in the twenty-first century manifest as political entrepreneurship. In a combination of these two aspirations, technology startup boom characterizes Estonian entrepreneurship in the second decade of the twenty-first century.
