Allow a company to identify as offering meetup space

I really like this idea.

A few ideas/thoughts, in no particular order:

Companies will need to be "verified" somehow, since they're currently wiki style, in order to list themselves as "available"
A verified company will need to provide an email address of some sort, probably part of the verification process, to allow people to contact them about meetups
People should need to log in to WWIP and have a profile in order to be able to contact companies. They'll also need to provide their email address so we can pass it along. In both cases, you have to give to get.
In a dream world, a simple 2-way rating system like Uber. Hosts and guests are both notoriously problematic, I think it'd be valuable to help people find the best in each other (and avoid the worst).

Organizing space for meetups is a huge pain in the ass. Companies have space.

Add a way for companies to self-identify as offering meetup space. Group organizers could browse to find companies offering space.

I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish this from an experience point of view yet. Perhaps a first step could be an extension of the tagging system. Further down the road it could involve listing meetups hosted by the company.

I'll try to put together a proof of concept. If anyone has any input though please share.
