How Excedr Helps You Scale Smarter
Reinvest Savings by Reducing Upfront Costs
Preserve cash flow by spreading equipment costs over time. With greater liquidity, you can reinvest in R&D, hiring, and growth—while keeping a financial buffer for surprises and new opportunities.
Focus on Research, Not Equipment Hassles
Managing lab equipment shouldn’t slow you down. Excedr’s flexible leasing frees up capital, simplifies procurement, and eliminates maintenance hassles—so you can focus on what matters most: your research.
Access the Exact Equipment You Need
Every lab’s needs are different, so we don’t carry inventory. As a non-dilutive capital provider, we finance and lease the exact instruments you need—sourced new and tailored to your workflow.
Real Stories From the Lab to the Boardroom
Biotech is as much about perseverance and strategy as it is about science.
That’s why we launched The Biotech Startups Podcast—to spotlight the founders, researchers, and investors shaping the next generation of life sciences companies.
