A Leasing Program Designed for Science
Helping you accelerate research, control costs, and scale with confidence.
Outfit Your Lab & Preserve Your Runway
Outfitting your lab with cutting-edge equipment is critical to growth—but purchasing outright can drain capital, limit flexibility, and slow progress. Excedr offers a smarter path forward, helping you acquire the equipment you need while preserving cash flow and operational agility.
Our non-dilutive leasing program extends your runway, accelerates R&D and commercialization milestones, and positions your company for a stronger raise. With flexible terms and cost-effective financing, you can focus on what matters most: innovating, discovering, and scaling efficiently.
Lower upfront costs. Extend runway. Accelerate your growth.
