Social causes startup Jumo has been acquired by GOOD, the publisher of a website and magazine aimed at do-gooders. Jumo was founded by Chris Hughes, one of Facebook's co-founders and a Harvard roommate of Mark Zuckerberg's. Hughes left Facebook to run Obama's Website and social media outreach during the 2008 Election. "GOOD acquired Jumo," Hughes tells me, "and users will soon see a single online platform on GOOD.is. I'll be teaming up with GOOD's CEO, Ben Goldhirsh, to help grow GOOD and Jumo." Terms of the deal were not disclosed.Jumo is designed to match people with causes by categorizing them by topic and letting you follow 15,000 non-profits, making it easy to donate time or money. After an initial pop following its launch last year, the traffic to the site fizzled. According to Compete, the site went from a peak of 114,000 unique U.S. visitors last December to 8,500 in June.
