What Excell Partners Inc does
Mission
The company's mission is to provide financial support, education, management support and networking connections to technology-based start-up companies emerging from the communities, universities, and research centers across upstate new york.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Provide financial support to technology based start-ups in the form of equity and convertible notes, to be used for entity formation, business plans, market assessment, recruitment and technology development. Provide educational and management support, as well as connections to early stage venture capital firms.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $4.8M to $5.5M (+16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 20% · 2022 5% · 2023 21% · 2024 20% · 2025 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
30% of EXCELL PARTNERS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
