Andreessen Horowitz, the Silicon Valley venture firm that’s raised $2.7 billion in three years, hired Chris Dixon as a general partner, tapping the expansive network of a New York angel investor and two-time entrepreneur.

Dixon, 40, who becomes the seventh investing partner at the firm, said in an interview today that he plans to back mostly consumer-focused startups. He will be moving from New York to the Bay Area to work out of the firm’s office in Menlo Park, California, though he plans to keep investing in New York.
