The most common reason companies raise VC money is so they can grow at a faster rate than they could without funding. If you have a business where X dollars invested in customer acquisition equals X+Y dollars in revenue but your revenue lags your customer acquisition by 6-12 months then you should go raise all the money possible given the size of the opportunity you are pursuing. Focusing on near-term profitability is not always the right decision.
