Team

At Excellere Partners, our professionals are immensely grateful for the opportunity to assist our companies and partners.

Our motto, STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE reflects the manifestation of our commitment to a higher standard of service – to our investors, portfolio companies, partners, lenders, intermediaries, and service providers.

I couldn’t imagine not having Excellere at my side. I rely on their wisdom and their experience.

Chris Moore
Founder

For me, as a founder of the company, when you’re looking to partner with somebody, it’s a relationship that is going to be ongoing, so you need to be comfortable with them, and it needs to be a good fit. We talked to a bunch of different firms, and Excellere certainly stood out.

Dr. Kandula
Founder

It’s the people, and I think that’s what makes it. I can’t think of anyone at Excellere I don’t like working with, and I think that says a lot.
