"Startup Bootcamp in Bratislava"
Our founders recently joined a Startup Bootcamp in Bratislava, Slovakia, a key event in the local startup ecosystem. Over two days, nine startups received training on customer needs, sales, financial planning, and investor pitching. Dr. Martin Polák, GAMETHERAPY's Co-founder, praised the event for its insights into Slovakia’s startup scene and networking opportunities.
"Pioneering VR therapy"
In partnership with Slovenská sporiteľňa, GAMETHERAPY developed a VR game to help users overcome common fears. Through guided exposure, players navigate challenging scenarios with the support of a virtual guide, learning techniques like controlled breathing, rational thinking, and gradual exposure - practical tools that can be easily applied to manage fear in everyday life.
"Most promising startups of Slovakia"
GAMETHERAPY was featured in Startitup’s article on Slovakia’s top startups, highlighting our work in Slovenská sporiteľňa’s Seed Starter program. At the Startup Bootcamp, we showcased ClaustrOFF, a VR therapy game using guided exposure to help users address fear of confined spaces.
