The fellowship hosts both entrepreneurs, those creating their own organizations and ventures, and intrapreneurs, those who intend to create change within a company or existing system. Geared mainly toward students and young professionals, StartingBloc is all about personal development. Their focus is on social innovation for early career-minded individuals.

Instead of crowd-sourced funding, grants for starting organizations, and social enterprises, StartingBloc's focus is on investing and developing people. Once a Fellow, always a Fellow, with ongoing events and support for a lifetime, this is a personal investment in the future. The program begins with accepted Candidates attending the Institute for Social Innovation for education, networking, and inspiration. Truly a learning experience, the curriculum is taught by leading professionals and leverages the organization's ties to top tier graduate programs. The organization also hosts a variety of workshops, regional events, and even a post-Institution event to keep Fellows connected.
