How much do those partner programs save you though?

For 1000 boards, from a distributor you're paying 1000 * $99 = $99000 and you are done with the order in 2 minutes.

To go through the partner program, hiring someone to have coffee and meetings and phone calls with NVIDIA for 6 months = $50000

Will going through the partner programs save you more than $50000?

Or can NVIDIA provide a pushbutton NLP bot that navigates their partner program for you and deals with all the necessary phone calls such that 1000 Nanos arrive at your doorstep for less than $99000?
