FAIRFAX, VA — Outermesh Technologies, a northern Virginia based wireless start-up, is building a services platform to digitize the paper-based coupon and loyalty marketing industries by using new innovative mobile and wireless technologies. "Our vision is to empower consumers, advertisers, property owners and retailers with the convenience and efficiencies of a mobile/wireless coupon system," said Jeff Kim its CEO. "We want people to be able to walk into a mall or plaza and know exactly what deals are going on, and then to be able to act on them.”
