Founded by University of South Carolina undergraduate engineering students and newly located in the USC Columbia Technology Incubator, 52apps uses a proprietary framework to create, test and launch high-quality iPhone and iPad apps in less than a week.

The company hosts "App Idea Days" as public forums where anyone can submit ideas. If someone's idea becomes the next app, the company will share revenues with the idea generators. The company’s apps have received as many as 500,000 downloads. Learn more about 52apps.
