TurnSignl app helps keep drivers safe

March 25, 2022

“TurnSignl is a Minnesota-based tech company that provides real-time legal guidance from an attorney to drivers, all while their camera records the interaction,” according to the company’s website.

The popular enterprise was established by three businessmen: Jazz Hampton (co-founder), Andre Creighton (co-founder and CFO) and Mychal Frelix (co-founder and chief growth officer). “We’re an app to bridge the gap,” Hampton said.

The business was established during a tumultuous time in Minneapolis. Hampton recalled, “We started in November 2020” after the entrepreneurs departed from their jobs. He added, “We officially launched the app in May 2021.”

What inspired them to start the business? “It was those stories of tragedy that struck in our community starting with Philando [Castile] and George Floyd,” he said.

He further explained, “After George Floyd occurred, we started saying, ‘What are we going to do? How are we going to build something to stop this from ever happening again? And that’s what led us to ultimately leave our corporate jobs and start TurnSignl,” Hampton said.
