Academic buyers won't have a big problem with that price. It's a drop in the bucket in the scope of all but the smallest research budgets.

Eh, if they have a defined project maybe...

$100 = Would buy this on a whim on the off-chance it's usable. Also, would consider buying 12x of them to outfit an undergrad lab.

$1000 = Have to have a clear project/vision in mind of how the board would be used and how other methods (FPGA/emulation) couldn't suffice.

That's a good way to sell half a dozen boards. :-(

It may work to bootstrap a larger market, but this board will not be a hot seller.
