Delivering What Trauma Therapy Has Needed: Safe VR Reconstructions of Traumatic Memories

Praetorian Studios is led by a former Tier-1 Special Operations medic with firsthand experience treating trauma. As a game-development studio, we recreate individual traumatic memories as controlled VR scenarios built in Unity and Unreal Engine—simple, focused snapshots that patients can safely step into under clinician supervision during Prolonged Exposure therapy. Designed for consumer-grade hardware, this solution is scalable, practical, and positioned to make a significant impact on the global mental-health market.

BUILD

Our team converts the request into a controlled VR environment using Unity/Unreal Engine tools, then securely delivers it to the clinician's

VR headset.

The Untapped Market

WE ARE NOT SELLING HARDWARE, WE ARE CREATING DIGITAL TOOLS FOR CLINICIANS ACROSS CANADA

Scaling our product through consumer hardware and streamlined development has immense market potential.

Market.png

How we get there:

  1. Targeting Alberta trauma clinicians, clinics, and private practices

    • Estimated 400–600 therapy practices offering trauma-focused care

    • Realistic early penetration: 2–5%

  2. Per-clinic annual software spend for comparable tools:

    • VR therapy platforms, EMDR equipment, digital tools
      → $5,000–$20,000 per clinic per year

Calculation:
20 clinics × $15,000 average spend
= $300,000 (low estimate)

60 clinics × $18,000 average spend
= ~$1.08M

Rounded and investor-friendly:
→ SOM = ~$1.1M annually

This SOM is intentionally conservative
