Buck Jordan is a former U.S. Army Captain and Blackhawk helicopter pilot who built his first fund Canyon Creek Capital from scratch by personally syndicating small checks deal-by-deal before raising larger funds, representing an unusually operational path into venture capital. At Wavemaker Partners, he operates more like a venture studio founder than a traditional investor, spending most of his time at Wavemaker Labs building robotics companies that share common hardware and software building blocks across multiple food automation ventures.

Wavemaker Partners operates a dual-headquartered model bridging Los Angeles and Singapore tech ecosystems, deliberately focusing on "unsexy" B2B enterprise and deep tech sectors in Southeast Asia when most regional capital chased consumer and fintech. The firm has built a multi-platform structure spanning early-stage to growth investments while maintaining one of the highest deal volumes in Southeast Asia with 400+ investments, positioning itself as a first-check partner for technical founders in enterprise, deep tech, and sustainability sectors.
