Our Story & Approach

Continuum is the family office and investment management company for Doug & Maria DeVos, and their family.

Founded in 2020, we seek to match purpose and pursuits by building innovative companies, stronger communities, and transformative projects that positively impact people’s lives. We recognize that partnership is vital to progress—in every part of our work. We build deep relationships, create lasting experiences, and pursue bold visions that our partners share. Always building from our faith, we recognize people’s God-given talents and strive to achieve more together than we ever could alone.

Our Family And Values

Spanning three generations, we are united together by a core belief of Imago Dei—that all people are made in the image of God—together with a core belief in the potential of all people. We are guided by our principles of personal worth, empowerment, curiosity, integrity, and responsibility. Doug and Maria DeVos founded Continuum and together with Dalton and Kelly DeVos, Jordan and Micaela Richtsmeier, Peter and Monreau Stewart, Grant and Olivia Griffioen are expanding the family’s vision and impact.

Our Principles

Accountability

We are responsible for our actions and the results of those actions.

Curiousity

We ask questions and question answers. We start with a problem-solving mindset and an abundance mentality. We act, make mistakes, learn, and keep moving forward.

Entrepreneurship

We know success must be earned. Achievement is connected to value created in the marketplace and hard work. We seek equal opportunity, innovation, fairness, and just rewards.

Integrity

We are who we are—in public, in private, all the time. We certainly aren’t perfect, but we strive to be all God has called us to be.

Partnership

We collaborate with others to create real opportunity that empowers people to improve their lives. We heed Frederick Douglass’s call to “unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong,” recognizing that we don’t have to agree on everything to be able to work together.

Pursuits

We invest in unique projects. From energizing American sailing, to advancing the American Idea, we actively engage in efforts that are core to our passions and values.

Our Team

The Continuum team offers 60+ years of global business and community leadership. Together with the family, they’re committed to advancing the vision of investing in people, companies, communities, and passion.
