Personify, founded in San Francisco in 1996, builds software that lets an e-marketer keep track of visitors to its website, what pages they look at, and how long they take to pick out something or go elsewhere. By last summer it had signed up 50 clients that were paying Personify about $6.2 million--and demanding more and different kinds of services than the company's 60 employees could supply.
