When should you look for a Venture Capitalist to fund your business idea?

I was recently thinking of starting a medium risk online business. Should I use a friend’s (who is more than willing to invest in me) money or do my own investment?

I mean is it morally right? For example, if the business is risky then why take my friend’s money and if it’s profitable for sure then why not invest fully and be a 100% owner? What’s your take on this and what is the correct time to look for a Venture Capitalist?
