Don’t raise money if you don’t know how you would use it. VCs are asking for a piece of what you built. If you decide to give it to them, you’d better get something that you really need in return. Don’t accept money just because other people do. Don’t accept money out of fear (i.e. what if competition has money). Don’t rush into a deal without understanding the terms. If you believe that not having money will be a bottleneck for your venture in the near future, then it is a good idea to accept investment. Since you are in a position of strength, it’s worth finding good investors and structuring a favorable deal. If money will just make things slightly more convenient/comfortable, it will be worth just pushing through without it. Just my 2 cents.
