Hi, Ashma Chawla!

Today you can become a partner and attain a designation intended for a solution area.
The solution areas are Business Applications, Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, Infrastructure, Modern Work and Security.
The Business Applications designation has Dynamics 365 and Power Platform as workloads. That means you need to provide solutions from these workloads to your customers.
"As a Solutions Partner for Business Applications, you've demonstrated your broad capability to deliver solutions with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform."
*Resource: Solutions Partner for Business Applications

In the resource I linked above you will see the metrics criteria to attain a designation.
As a startup, you may think that attain a designation is not your company target today.

Therefore, Microsoft has others association offers that may attend you.

For example, I recommend you to know about the ISV Success Program, this 12-month program is designed to help early-stage ISVs innovate rapidly, build well-architected applications, publish to the Microsoft commercial marketplace, and grow their sales. Learn more about the ISV Success program.
"Innovate with Azure Cognitive Services and low-code technology with Power Platform that help you develop apps quickly. "
*Resource: ISV Success

In short, with regard of "Power Bi partnership", if your startup has a focus on selling or providing Power Bi services and products on a consolidated scale, I suggest you to know about the Solutions Partner for Business Applications and see the IUR benefits it gives.
If the focus of your startup is develop applications and obtain benefits with no tax costs to purchase, then you probably will be more instigated with the ISV Success program. See the benefits table in the links I mentioned above.
