Excedr's Beginnings

For over a decade, we’ve supported the life sciences industry—working with established labs, newly-founded biotechs, contract research organizations, and more. Through our experience underwriting businesses, leasing lab equipment, and helping companies scale, we’ve gained a deep understanding of the challenges that come with navigating the biotech landscape.

Research and development is the cornerstone of scientific innovation, transforming ideas into groundbreaking opportunities with the potential to improve lives and reshape the world.

As a leasing company and a source of non-dilutive funding, we’re committed to empowering scientists and equipping the next generation of life sciences founders with the tools they need to drive meaningful impact.

Why We Launched a Podcast

An increasing number of researchers are transitioning from academia to industry, giving rise to a new generation of scientist-entrepreneurs eager to bring innovative products to market. With The Biotech Startups Podcast, our aim is to provide valuable insights to support the next wave of biotech founders at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey.

By featuring a diverse lineup of guests, we delve into the unique challenges and opportunities within the biotech industry, offering practical advice and inspiration. Ultimately, our mission is to empower founders as they work to commercialize their science, advance groundbreaking technologies, and create a lasting impact on the world.
