Mark Wahlberg will participate in a fireside chat at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, alongside Bruce K. Lee of Keebeck Wealth Management. The discussion will center on Wahlberg’s shift towards institutional-level investing, particularly in healthcare and wellness startups. This follows a career spanning film, production, restaurants, apparel, and angel investments, demonstrating a diversified approach to business building.
The conversation will address Wahlberg’s reliance on entrepreneurial instinct and his use of trust built through a long career to drive access and deal flow. It will also explore how he’s adapting his strategies, acknowledging past instincts and seeking guidance from Lee. The session will cover the mechanics of leveling up in a competitive investing landscape.
Attendees will gain insight into Wahlberg’s current technological focus, including his interest in sophisticated business and financial environments. The discussion will include how high-profile entertainers and athletes sometimes get it wrong, and how Wahlberg has worked to unlearn some of his own old instincts. The event will be held on October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, alongside 250+ tech leaders and 200+ sessions.
The Disrupt event will feature 10,000+ tech leaders and cover building viable startups and shaping the next generation of innovation. The session will be held on the Disrupt Stage.
