How to Scale a SaaS Startup from $1M to $100M ARR Without Investor Funding?

I have a SaaS startup in the ecommerce space; it's like Shopify but with a no-plugin approach. The storefront is open source (Vue Project + JS SDK) and available on GitHub, allowing everyone to build their storefronts and deploy them on our servers. This gives it the flexibility of Woocommerce and Wordpress. We are two founders + one employee + zero investors. I personally wrote all the code for the backend, frontend, iOS, Android app, and more so we can figure out the product side at any level. Also most of our users are agencies, primarily from North America and Europe. Our revenue comes from selling deals to agencies, freelancers, and business owners. So, the next step is making ARR.

I don't want to raise money from investors because they thought my nationality was not ok to secure funding. Therefore, I'm looking to scale without their support, and I'm curious about what startups do after their Series A or B rounds to scale their business. I'd like to understand their scaling strategies and replicate them with my available resources.

Every piece of advice or reference is worth a lot.
