"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."

Avoid large upfront costs and preserve cash flow by spreading equipment expenses over up to five years. With greater liquidity, you can reinvest in R&D, hiring, and business growth while staying financially flexible. Leasing gives you a cash buffer for unexpected costs and new opportunities.
Managing lab equipment shouldn’t slow you down. With Excedr, you get flexible leasing options that free up capital, simplify procurement, and eliminate maintenance worries. Spend less time dealing with equipment logistics and more time driving discoveries forward.
Every lab has unique equipment needs, which is why we don’t carry inventory. Instead, as an experienced non-dilutive capital provider and credit investor, we finance the exact instruments you need—covering the purchase cost and leasing them directly to your business.
