01 · Built for

The moment when the obvious answer doesn't feel right.

For Series A through growth-stage businesses, on both sides of an exit. For teams with an existing function that needs a sharper read, or building one for the first time.

Why now?
01

Raising the next round, or preparing for an exit. The growth story has to be airtight.

02

A board asking which lever drives revenue next. The old playbook has stopped working.

03

A crowded category where positioning has stopped differentiating, or an emerging one waiting to be claimed.

04

A demand engine that has stalled, never been built, or needs rebuilding after an acquisition.

02 · Services

Broad expertise, focused scope.

Growth challenges rarely fit neatly into one box, and neither does our approach. The outcome will always be revenue-focused, concrete actions your team can execute, or we can stay and build.

01

Growth and revenue strategy

A growth model that names where the next dollar of revenue actually comes from, what compounds it over the next phase of growth, and what blocks them. The smallest set of moves to close the gap.

02

Go-to-market

The motion that fits the product, the buyer, and the category, designed before the org chart locks in. PLG, ABM, sales-led, partner, hybrid. Picking the motion is the strategy, before it is the execution.

03

Positioning and category design

Differentiating inside a crowded category, naming a new one others have not claimed, or translating a founder's vision into the angle and category they can own. The defensible position usually lives in the gap between what buyers say and what they do. We find it, then make it legible to the market, the board, and the team that has to sell it.

04

Product marketing

Turning what the product does into clear language about the problems it solves. In SaaS, fintech, and financial services, that means translating technical complexity into messaging the buyer understands, and clearing regulatory review where it applies. Messaging, narrative, sales enablement, launch motion. Where product hands off to revenue.

05

Demand generation engine

Building or rebuilding the engine that produces pipeline. Channel mix, content strategy, funnel design, attribution that tells the truth. Not “more leads.” A pipeline that converts against the ICP you actually win in.

06

Operating model and AI

The stack, the way it is run, and where AI changes the unit economics of revenue work. AI as an accelerant where it earns its place, especially on smaller teams asked to do more with less. Diagnosing what to keep, what to retire, where the data lies to you, and how to tell real AI impact from theatre.

Aladdin Elalfy

Founder & Principal Advisor

Eighteen years of senior leadership applied to the part that drives revenue. Finding the angle others can’t see.

Oblique Sight is a deliberately small practice. The work is done by the person you hire, not handed to a team you never meet. That's the whole proposition: senior judgement, applied directly, without the agency layer in between.

The perspective behind the practice was built across countries, categories, and professional identities: clinical training, an MBA, global financial-services and SaaS marketing, and years spent inside the systems that shape growth. The commercial value is not the biography. It is the pattern recognition that comes from having seen more than one default view.
