OutCast Communications founder Margit Wennmachers is leaving the firm for a partner slot at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which Outcast helped launch last year.

Wennmachers set up tech specialist Outcast in 1997 with Caryn Marooney.
AH, which has backed tech hits like Skype and Zynga and is reportedly in contention for a stake in Foursquare, raised $300M in starting up last year under Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen and Loudcloud founder Ben Horowitz.
Wennmachers was a VP at Blanc & Otus before founding OutCast, which was acquired by NextFifteen Communications Group in 2005 in a deal worth up to $13M.
AllthingsD first reported the move.
