Meet the Founders
Riki Furuto
Co-Founder
I started Discipulus after realizing how hard it is to get a job without experience. When I entered college, I saw how even small opportunities can shape the decisions students make about their careers. My own path began with an interest in medicine, but the lack of opportunities made me question if it was right for me. What has always stayed with me, though, is a passion for community service and helping others.
With Discipulus, my goal is to give students the opportunities I wished I had a chance to explore careers, gain experience, and find confidence in their future. Too often I’ve seen students unsure about their major, lost after graduation, or even giving up on their dreams because of closed doors. I want to change that.

I am deeply committed to fostering a culture of opportunity and innovation, where students can explore their potential without the weight of pressure. My vision is to create an environment that empowers them to pursue their dreams through tangible, real-world opportunities. Students are the driving force behind the future of every industry, and I believe that initiatives like Discipulus can plant the seeds of growth that will eventually flourish, making a significant impact across the globe.
Modern education often confines students, limiting their ability to explore diverse pathways without fear of regression. By nurturing their aspirations from the outset, we are not merely supporting individuals; we are reinforcing the very fabric of our community. When we invest in our students today, we lay the groundwork for a more vibrant, dynamic future for all.
