Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed
"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase. The whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.
Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."
Jessica Grossman
CEO, IgGenix
"Excedr's lease structure helped us extend our cash runway, forecast our projects with greater accuracy, and track and manage upcoming expenses more effectively, putting us in a stronger position for our next venture round."
Shawn Gahr
COO & Co-Founder, Novoron
"Building a biotech is tough, and Excedr has been a dynamite partner in scaling. They supported Distributed Bio’s growth from an 8-person lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition.
When I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called. I recommend them for any biotech startup."
Jacob Glanville
CEO & President, Centivax
"Excedr has been invaluable for KiraGen Bio, helping us access high-quality equipment without heavy upfront costs.
Their flexible leasing and reliable support let us focus on advancing research rather than equipment procurement and maintenance."
Aaron Edwards
Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio
"Excedr helped us finance a BLI system when we were new to equipment leasing.
Sylvia guided us through our options, and the fast, easy process freed our team to focus on research and grant management instead of funding logistics."

“Leasing our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope cut outside analysis costs in the first year and improved response times to field issues.
Having it on-site also strengthened our Engineering and Production Teams’ understanding of our product lines."

Leasing Solutions Designed for Growth
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.
