DFIN introduces the new Venue, the most modern virtual data room on the market—designed to lead the industry in speed and simplicity

NEW YORK — September 24, 2025 Donnelley Financial Solutions (NYSE: DFIN) today introduced DFIN Venue, its virtual data room (VDR), following a comprehensive rebuild. The new Venue keeps the familiar name while delivering a modern architecture, streamlined navigation, intelligent permissioning, and real-time insights to speed due diligence and simplify collaboration for M&A, capital raising, and IPO work.

“Clients asked for a data room that is genuinely faster to set up, easier to govern, and reliable at deal speed. We rebuilt Venue to do exactly that,” said Floyd Strimling, Chief Product Officer at DFIN. “It’s the control, clarity, and security dealmakers need, combined with the exceptional service they know and expect from DFIN.” 

The new Venue is designed to simplify the deal process for investment banking, legal, and corporate teams. Built for ease of use with an intuitive user interface and clean navigation, Venue enables users to self-launch new data rooms and manage multiple data rooms on demand, reducing reliance on IT resources and accelerating project timelines. The platform supports large file uploads and high-capacity storage designed to accommodate complex, data-heavy transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, IPO preparations, and other corporate initiatives. By combining intuitive user features with industry-leading scalability and technical performance, the new Venue provides a differentiated solution to deal teams navigating critical transactions.

Venue connects to DFIN’s broader software solutions, including ActiveDisclosure, to streamline SEC filings, including IPOs and M&A, as well as financial reporting. As with all DFIN solutions, security is aligned to leading standards, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2, plus SSO and MFA options. 

The new DFIN Venue is available today, while legacy Venue remains accessible during the phased client migration planned through 2026.
