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.

Hear from Our Customers
Real stories from startups that reduced upfront costs, accelerated R&D, and scaled smarter with Excedr.
"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase and the whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.
As a busy start-up CEO, I am always aware of how important it is to keep our science progressing while on a tight budget.
Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."
Jessica Grossman
CEO, IgGenix
"Building a biotech is a lot of work. Excedr has been a dynamite partner in making that scaling happen.
They were a great partner when scaling Distributed Bio from an 8 member 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
"Securing top-tier lab equipment while managing cash flow is a constant challenge. Excedr has been an invaluable partner in helping KiraGen Bio access the high-quality instrumentation we need without the heavy upfront costs.
Their flexible leasing options and outstanding support allow us to focus on advancing our research rather than worrying about equipment procurement and maintenance. For any biotech startup looking to scale efficiently, I can’t recommend Excedr enough."
Aaron Edwards
Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio
"Excedr helped us to finance a BLI system about a year ago. Sylvia did an excellent job at helping us to understand our options, since our company was new to equipment financing.
The leasing process was fast and easy when compared with self-funding our purchase, plus the speed and ease with which Excedr onboarded us freed up our team’s time to focus on research and grant management.
Max Brennan
General Counsel & VP Operations, Zab Bio
“The lease of our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope has significantly impacted our outside analysis costs, realizing a significant savings in the 1st year.
Having the instrument on-site has greatly improved our response times to field issues and fabrication challenges, while improving our Engineering and Production Teams' overall understanding of our product lines."
