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

Personal Worth

We believe in people—all people, without exception. Everyone is capable of extraordinary things. People are best understood from the inside out, not the outside in.

Empowerment

We recognize everyone's potential. We break barriers because progress happens when people pursue their passions from the bottom-up, not top-down central planning.

Curiosity

We are lifelong learners. We ask questions and question answers, continuously experimenting, learning, and never settling for the status quo.

Responsibility

We strive to make the most of our own gifts. We hold ourselves and others to the highest standard, recognizing that success is earned.

Integrity

We are who we are, in public and private. We are honest and fair with everyone, regardless of their beliefs or background.

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.
