I'm Josh Branville, founder and CEO of North South Industries, a privately held parent operational company headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota. I lead a portfolio of eight brands spanning encryption, cybersecurity, enterprise platforms, semiconductor manufacturing, logistics technology, and molecular science.
As we developed our technology, we focused on documenting and establishing the legal and intellectual property baseline to support our brands. That process has resulted in a comprehensive provisional patent portfolio grounded in applied physics across every brand in the portfolio. As a startup firm wearing many hats, I am currently building dedicated leadership across all eight brands to leverage our groundbreaking foundation.
I married my high school sweetheart. We've been together over 25 years and married for 10. We have three kids, including twins. Family is the foundation everything else is built on.
I come from a lower middle class working family in Minnesota. I started my career working startup logistics firms and spent years in corporate logistics at the largest freight operations in the country before deciding to go out on my own. I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have owned businesses across multiple sectors.
I'm not conditioned to accept what we are led to believe are the current guardrails. I live by one rule: what happened yesterday stays in yesterday. Stay grounded, stay present, and keep moving forward.
In 2022, I launched North South Industries with my partner Gene Grugal in Rapid City, South Dakota. Our goal was to leverage the talent pool near Ellsworth Air Force Base and bring technology jobs to the region. We built a portfolio of supply chain technology brands: freight brokerage, compliance, finance, and Web3-forward regulatory tools.
As we started to gain traction, we were hit head on by the worst trucking recession since 2008, and everything we had built was suddenly at risk.
By early 2024, I could no longer afford to keep paying developers. So I taught myself to code at the age of 40. I started out with Python but went all in with Rust, with one goal: keep my company alive.
I started experimenting with different ways to store data and reduce outside costs, and in that process, I discovered compression. I wasn't conditioned by predetermined physics theories or established frameworks, and by not fully understanding what the industry had accepted as its boundaries, I was able to approach things differently.
The compression work started producing patterns I did not expect. Instead of dismissing them, I followed them, deeper into quantum mechanics, post-quantum encryption, and superposition theory. Each answer opened a new question.
By late 2024, that work had produced breakthroughs in quantum superposition and entanglement at room temperature. What started as a survival measure had become a fundamental technology discovery.
By late 2025, we had mortgaged everything and brought ourselves to the financial edge, knowing that once we were able to completely document and establish our intellectual property, we could accelerate and begin to commercialize mathematical quantum fields.
In early 2026, I restructured the company to fully align with the direction North South Industries is headed. Eight brands. Over 300 provisional patents protecting a complete computing paradigm from silicon to settlement layer. Still no outside investors. The last five years have been the hardest of my life. But we are here, and we are just getting started.
North South Industries operates as the parent company, centralizing shared services while each brand runs independently. I currently serve as acting CEO across all eight brands.
