If organic growth is working it says a lot about your startup and you are in a rare position. Plenty of startups can't even exist or run without outside capital. This includes the ones in news you read every day. But if you insist and like hyper growth I would recommend to try YC.

And, as a vendor witnessing a lot of startups for 14 years, I would also recommend to follow the organic route. You can see a lot of geniuses and killer products crash. Even one nine figure acquisition was not so great for the founders and they didn't get that much after working a few years as part of the retention.

If you want to be acquired in the future, follow the growth route too, since your valuation will be a multiplier of your revenue.
