"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."

CEO at 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 my last startup from an 8 member lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition. When I sold Distributed Bio and I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called. I recommend them for any biotech startup."

Founder, CEO, & President at Centivax
“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."

Principal Mechanical Technician at Plug Power
"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.”

Reduce upfront costs & extend cash runway
We don’t require large down payments, meaning you can obtain new or refurbished equipment at reduced upfront costs.
By avoiding large capital outlays, and maintaining your cash runway, you'll generate cash savings that will help you maintain a stronger financial position.
Spreading the cost of equipment over time improves your cash flow and creates a reserve of cash for unexpected expenses.
Minimize equipment downtime
Minimizing equipment downtime is absolutely critical. When you have a deadline, an unexpected breakdown can often derail your progress, leading to missed deadlines and milestones.
We’re here to help. We bundle comprehensive maintenance and repair coverage with every lease. With full coverage, you won’t miss a beat.
Get the exact equipment you want
Every business has different needs and preferences when it comes to equipment. That’s why we don’t carry an inventory.
Instead, as a capital provider and credit investor, we help you secure the exact equipment you want by financing the equipment’s purchase and leasing directly to your lab.
Excedr is more than just a lab equipment leasing company. We're a seasoned capital provider and credit investor, with 15 years of experience supporting top biotech founders and exclusively leasing to the scientific community.
This focus, and our extensive experience and scientific backgrounds, gives us unique insights into the needs of your startup. We understand not just the science behind your work but also the specific equipment you need to succeed. Our goal is to support your research and development efforts and help improve healthcare outcomes for all.
When faced with tight venture capital deadlines, clinical trials, or collaborative research projects, you can count on Excedr. We ensure that your equipment performs at its best so you can meet important milestones on time.
