ARCHON Partners with Brazilian AI Startup TABLIA to Launch TABLIA North America

Partnership will bring TABLIA’s AI platform for construction wholesalers to the U.S. market, with beta testing in Texas expected before the end of 2026

Austin, Texas — October 22, 2026 — ARCHON LLC today announced a partnership with TABLIA, a technology startup based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to form TABLIA North America.

TABLIA was founded by Carolina Fonseca, who conceived the company while earning her MBA at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Built on large language model technology, TABLIA’s platform delivers AI solutions designed specifically for construction wholesalers. The product is already in use in Brazil, where the company is rapidly expanding its client base nationwide.

Under the agreement, TABLIA’s technology team is developing a North American version of the platform, adapting it from Portuguese and metric units to English and imperial units. The U.S. version is expected to be ready for beta testing with customers before the end of 2026.

ARCHON will take a leadership role in TABLIA North America, drawing on its industry experience to lead the first phase of sales and outreach. The initial focus will be testing and refining the platform’s features with construction wholesalers in Texas before expanding to other regions. The goal is to build early momentum and customer adoption, positioning TABLIA North America to attract investment to grow its sales team and pursue opportunities nationwide.

“Construction wholesalers in the United States face many of the same challenges we solve every day in Brazil,” said Carolina Fonseca, founder of TABLIA. “Partnering with ARCHON gives us the market knowledge and relationships to make our entry into North America a success.”

“TABLIA addresses a real need in an industry we know well,” said Scott Beardslee, Manager of ARCHON LLC. “Starting in Texas lets us work closely with our first customers and prove what this platform can do.”

ARCHON and TALEGHE Form TALEGHE North America, Bringing Handcrafted Colombian Leather Goods to U.S. Customers

The Cali-based brand, built on fair compensation for local artisans, plans to begin U.S. sales in January 2027

Austin, Texas — October 15, 2026 — ARCHON LLC today announced it has finalized an agreement with TALEGHE to form TALEGHE North America, the brand’s U.S. company. Based in Cali, Colombia, and pursuing expansion into Bogotá and Medellín, TALEGHE designs and produces handbags, duffels, and other handmade leather goods.

TALEGHE was founded by Cali entrepreneur Leslie Gaviria, whose background includes years as a real estate broker throughout Colombia and the Caribbean and as the owner of an artisanal bakery in Cali. She has spent years working hand in hand with local craftspeople to develop and refine her product line.

That close relationship defines the brand’s mission. TALEGHE is committed to providing sustainable compensation for skilled artisans throughout the region, creating a structure that allows the people who make its products to share in the brand’s success. As the company grows, so do the resources available to their families and the opportunities open to them.

TALEGHE North America will begin marketing to customers in the United States in November 2026, followed by the launch of an e-commerce site, broader outreach, and a full advertising strategy. Sales in North America are scheduled to begin in January 2027.

“Every TALEGHE piece carries the skill of the artisans who make it,” said Leslie Gaviria, founder of TALEGHE. “Expanding into North America means more opportunity for them and their families, and that is what this brand was built for.”

“Leslie has built something rare: a beautiful product with a real purpose behind it,” said Scott Beardslee, Manager of ARCHON LLC. “We are proud to help bring TALEGHE to customers in the United States.”
