About Buck Jordan
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.
