"35NDA's? Not a company with their hands up to say. I will pay X for your graphite, why?"

I see the effort made in soliciting signatures on 35 NDA's not as a positive... but as an effort being made in applying a tactic to use the signatures to silence others in the market. Signing that many documents is probably not about needing a customer and making a serious effort in looking, but signing 35 likely means there aren't any left out there in the market who are free to share an opinion that they'd otherwise be likely to find useful to share... about a project they signed NDA's on.

If you're NOT just trying to silence the market... and were instead intent on looking for the right partner... you'd probably do your homework, first, make a couple discreet inquiries... and reduce it to a short list of two or three potentials... prioritize them... and then sign ONE document... with the one you wanted to work with.

If you did that right... you'd likely not ever have a need to say anything to the others... ? The best way to ensure non-disclosure of things you might tell them under an NDA... is to not tell them.

Signing 35 NDA's looks to me like a method of deliberately shutting people up... more than a method of seriously engaging them in conducting any business.
