If VCs are reaching out to you, that's a sign you're doing something right- and as long as you can literally afford to keep doing it yourselves, keep doing it yourselves.
VC's won't corrupt your work, VC's are there to fill in blind spots, gaps, hiring, board, things you probably aren't good at because that's not your focus right now.
You can find incredible VC's who will take your company places you could never have imagined- but right now, if you can afford it- why bother.
Taking on advisors is a great tool though as well as VC's, the equity cost is like percents of a percent for all of them and you get X hrs/month of resources. If you're building tools that require specific regulation requirements, etc.. then you add a regulator as an adviser.
