Case Study: Abcam meets its 4-month IPO goal with Donnelley Financial Solutions (Venue)

How we helped a Cambridge headquartered biotechnology company accelerate its IPO journey

Abcam, the Cambridge‑headquartered biotechnology company that supplies two‑thirds of scientists globally, needed a virtual data room to support an IPO planned within four months. They selected Donnelley Financial Solutions and its Venue virtual data room to provide a fast, user-friendly platform for stakeholders to access and navigate extensive transaction documents.

Donnelley Financial Solutions deployed Venue with instant setup and rapid admin onboarding, intuitive navigation, layered permissions, optimized upload/download speeds and 24/7/365 global support. Those features accelerated Abcam’s IPO process—helping the company meet its four‑month target—while ensuring secure, efficient document sharing and proactive assistance throughout the deal.
