About this model
Novamind builds regulated psychedelics infrastructure through outpatient clinics, research sites, and international retreats. Its strategy combines direct patient care with research capabilities in a sector where clinical protocols, regulation, and site operations shape both access and economics.
Revenue combines clinic treatments, CRO services, and potentially network or retreat income. Growth depends on licensed locations, clinician and therapist capacity, patient demand, research contracts, regulatory approvals, and the timing required for each site to reach sustainable utilisation.
The model forecasts clinics, treatment sessions, revenue per treatment, clinician cost, research contracts, and site-level ramp. It includes facility investment, compliance, patient acquisition, treatment supplies, working capital, gross margin, operating cash flow, funding needs, and runway.
A turnkey financial model
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

How to build a detailed financial model for Novamind
A complete walkthrough of the business, drivers, and assumptions behind the downloadable Novamind model - distilled from its pitch deck and publicly available information.
Product & value proposition
Three business units operating under Novamind Ventures:
- Cedar Psychiatry (subsidiary) - full-service outpatient mental health clinics in Utah specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), Spravato (esketamine), TMS, and medication management
- Cedar Clinical Research (CCR) (subsidiary) - psychedelic-focused contract research organization (CRO); hosts Phase I–IV clinical trials; led Spravato trials for Janssen; coordinating investigator on MAPS MDMA eating-disorder trial
- Retreat network - minority equity investments with board seats in Synthesis (Netherlands, psilocybin) and Circadia Center (Costa Rica, psychedelic experiences); right of first refusal to acquire Circadia
Value proposition: own the full-stack infrastructure (clinical care + research + international retreats) before psychedelic medicines receive broad regulatory approval, positioning as the pick-and-shovel play in the sector.
Market
- US annual spend on mental health services: US$224B
- US annual spend on depression and anxiety treatments: US$17B

- Clinical efficacy cited as market catalyst: MDMA Phase III for PTSD (67% remission rate); psilocybin Phase IIB for TRD (42% complete remission)
Revenue model
- Clinic revenue (Cedar Psychiatry): fee-for-service per treatment session - ketamine infusions, Spravato sessions, TMS, psychotherapy, medication management; patients pay out-of-pocket or via insurance (insurance coverage not addressed in deck)

Recommended financial model
Archetype + why: Multi-segment operating company P&L with clinic roll-up logic. This is not a pure SaaS, DTC, or drug-development model. The primary revenue driver is clinic throughput (treatments × revenue per treatment), overlaid with CRO fee-for-service income and minority investment mark-to-market. A 3-statement model with a clinic-count expansion module is most appropriate - similar in structure to a healthcare services roll-up. The retreat segment (Synthesis, Circadia) should be modeled as equity investments on the balance sheet, not consolidated revenue, unless acquisition triggers (ROFR) are exercised.
Forecast horizon & granularity:
- 5-year annual (2020–2025), with monthly detail for Year 1 given early-stage clinic ramp
- Quarterly milestones for clinic openings
Key drivers & assumptions:
- Number of operating clinics; growth rate
- Treatments per clinic per month;
- Revenue per treatment;
- Treatment mix (ketamine / Spravato / TMS / therapy);
- Gross margin per clinic
- CRO revenue;
- Corporate overhead / G&A
- Clinic capex / buildout cost
- CAC / patient acquisition spend
Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):
- Base: 2 new clinics/year; 65 treatments/clinic/month at steady state; revenue/treatment at midpoint; regulatory environment stable
- Bull: 3+ new clinics/year (accelerated expansion capital); Spravato insurance coverage expands; psilocybin achieves FDA approval by 2023 unlocking new treatment line; Circadia acquired and consolidated
- Bear: Regulatory delays on MDMA/psilocybin dampen new patient interest; clinic ramp slower (45 treatments/month); CRO trial pipeline thins due to sponsor budget cuts (COVID impact)
Required sheets / outputs:
- Assumptions dashboard (all drivers in one place)
- Clinic roll-up model (clinic count × treatments × revenue/treatment × utilization ramp curve)
- CRO revenue schedule (by trial, sponsor, phase, fee)
- Retreat investments (equity stakes, book value, ROFR acquisition scenario toggle)
- P&L - consolidated and by segment (Cedar Psychiatry / CCR / Corporate)
- Balance sheet (light - track cash, clinic PP&E, equity investments)
- Cash flow statement (operating + capex for clinic buildouts)
- Funding & uses (C$5M raise deployment schedule)
- Comps benchmarking tab (revenue multiples vs. Field Trip, Numinus)
- Scenario/sensitivity toggle (clinic count × revenue/treatment)

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.
