When he moved to Detroit as part of Venture for America, a program that sends new grads to startups in struggling cities to train as entrepreneurs, Brian Rudolph thought he would eventually start a tech company. Three years later, he's making pasta instead.Rudolph just raised $1.3 million in a round of funding for Banza, a pasta made from chickpeas instead of wheat. It has twice the protein, four times the fiber, and half the net carbs as your average rigatoni. A serving has 25 grams of protein, as much as a three-ounce steak.
"I had this hobby of making really nutritious foods just for myself," he says. "I was making high-protein breads, high-protein ice creams. Most of them were not really very tasty, but this actually was. I was able to trick my roommate into thinking it was regular pasta, which I knew was a good step."
Last year, after a successful stint on Restaurant Startup, a foodie version of Shark Tank, Rudolph officially launched the product, which is now in 1,700 stores. He's hoping it will transform the pasta aisle.

Comedy Central has given a series order to Detroiters, its Motor City comedy pilot executive produced by Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video and Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis who will have a recurring role on the 10-episode series.
Detroiters stars cast member-turned-SNL writer Tim Robinson and Veep‘s Sam Richardson, Detroit natives who performed together at Chicago’s Second City. The project, which Richardson and Robinson co-created, co-wrote and executive produce with Joe Kelly and Zach Kanin, revolves around Sam (Richardson) and Tim (Robinson), two small-time Detroit ad men who aspire to help turn their hometown back into the glittering jewel of the Midwest that it once was. Sudeikis will appear in a limited number of episodes as a successful automotive executive Sam and Tim relentlessly pursue in an effort to land their first big-time client.
“The creative team on Detroiters is so ridiculously funny, we’re not even sure we deserve them,” said Comedy Central’s Kent Alterman.
Richardson, who joined Veep in Season 3 as recurring, playing wide-eyed political staffer Richard Splett, was promoted to regular in Season 4. Richardson is expected to continue on the HBO comedy in addition to his commitment to Detroiters.
While the pilot for Detroiters was shot on location in Detroit, it’s yet to be determined whether the series will film there or in Los Angeles or New York.
