Supplier initial moq is so high. 5k

Recently found a couple suppliers I would like to work with on a product but both I’ve reached out to have been in the range of 5-10k units to private label.

I’ve messaged others as well and same thing, lowest I’m seeing is 5k units.

Is there a way to deal with this

Again this would be my initial order so obviously ordering 5,000 isn’t something I want to do but that seems to be the going moq

(this would be my first time ordering from both of them, so brand new)
