On the basis of the literature on organizational behavior, strategic changes and technology management this article analyzes readiness of new ventures to function in the framework of technological entrepreneurship. Research findings suggest that objective organizational features are important at the stage of taking decisions, whereas intangible subjective characteristics of a new venture are more important at the stage of taking further decisions. In order to understand the phenomenon of readiness, the research used the data of 112 enterprises applying for establishing their business activity in the project “Academy of Young Businessmen – an opportunity to develop technological entrepreneurship”.
