Success to you is for you to define. Don't fall into the trap of VC funding because its all you read on HN or Techcrunch. What you have built is your baby so don't let anyone else tell you what you should be doing. It sounds like you have so much meaning and purpose in the company you have. If (and it sounds like) you don't want the vc money, then that is the right decision for you.
