Terzo, an enterprise AI platform that extracts financial intelligence from contracts and supplier documents, was featured in a Business Insider essay published on July 22, 2026. In the essay, founder and CEO Brandon Card explained why employee mental health has become a priority as the company expands.
Card described how personal loss during Terzo's early years reshaped his definition of success and influenced his approach to leadership. He spoke openly about his own experience with therapy, aiming to make it easier for employees to seek similar support. He framed that openness as a foundation to build on as Terzo continues to scale.
"I'm hoping I can set a standard for mental health care within Terzo, and that Terzo can set off a domino effect for other companies," Card wrote in the essay.
Card outlined a longer-term goal of bringing in-house mental health professionals to Terzo, making that support available to all employees. He described the company's current stage as an asset—small and flexible enough to test new approaches to workplace mental health before the team grows larger.
Terzo was founded in 2020 and operates across the United States, Canada, and India, serving enterprise customers in finance, legal, IT, supply chain, sales, and procurement. Current job openings are listed on Terzo's careers page.
The announcement matters because it highlights a growing trend of tech leaders using their platforms to address mental health, an issue that affects productivity and retention. By sharing his personal story, Card may encourage other founders to invest in employee well-being, potentially influencing workplace policies across the industry. For Terzo, which Terzo says identifies money enterprises lose across their third-party and supplier spend ecosystem, including contracts, invoices, purchase orders, and renewals, the focus on mental health could also serve as a differentiator in attracting talent amid a competitive labor market.
As the company scales, Card's commitment to mental health support could set a precedent for how fast-growing startups integrate well-being into their culture. The full essay is available on Business Insider.
