PortOPong is an inflatable beer pong table that allows you to play your favorite drinking game anywhere and everywhere. It even allows you to play it in the swimming pool; we know that swimming and drinking are a great combo. Feel free to check out my review of the actual PortOPong. I had a chance to speak with the co-owner of the company and co-inventor of PortOPong, Jerry Piscitelli.
Tell us a little about yourself. What do you do at PortOPong?
I am the co-owner/inventor of PortOPong. My role is web development, product sourcing, graphic design, business relations, media relations, accounting, and, of course, sales. As you can see, a small company needs to have people who wear many hats.
I am a graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University, ’02. I come from a very diverse background. I was a captain of the track team in college (New England state shot put champ), and a communications major. I once worked as a bouncer at a bar. I am a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) and I am an Eagle scout. Very mixed background, I know.
Tell us a little about PortOPong, your products, your company, and where you guys are based. We make the PortOPong tables – the world's first inflatable beer pong table – and we now have them in four colors (blue, green, pink, and white). We promote our tables as a fun item to use when on vacation or anytime you don’t want to use a big bulky table. It's 100% portable! It’s the only table that you can play in the pool, or at a tailgate.
We also just launched PortOPong X, the official energy drink for beer pong. It tastes better than leading brands and has a hot look. We introduced this product this year and sell disposable Jager bomb cups with the X as well.
The PortOPong Team is made up of me, my partner, and the other inventor of PortOPong, my long time friend Sal Laudano. He heads up shipping, customer service, sales, and travels to events with me, and we are both based out of Connecticut.
