Mark Wahlberg to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

In short: Mark Wahlberg will join Bruce K. Lee on the main stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to discuss how he builds and invests in businesses.

What happened

Mark Wahlberg is scheduled to appear at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, a large tech conference in San Francisco. The event runs October 13 to 15 at Moscone West.

Wahlberg will do a main stage conversation with Bruce K. Lee, the founder and CEO of Keebeck Wealth Management. TechCrunch says the focus will be on Wahlberg’s work outside of acting, including investing and building companies.

According to the event details, the discussion will cover entrepreneurship (starting and running a business), and how Wahlberg approaches investing. It will also focus on healthcare and wellness startups, meaning young companies trying to build new products or services in health and personal well-being.

TechCrunch also notes that Wahlberg has built several ventures over the years, including a production company, restaurants, apparel and fitness businesses, angel investments (early bets on young companies, like giving a small business its first serious funding), and a youth foundation.

Why it matters

Tech conferences are usually filled with founders, investors, and company leaders, and many attendees go to learn practical lessons they can use. This session is framed as a look at how a public figure tries to apply more structured investing habits, with guidance from an experienced finance professional. For people building startups, it is like hearing how someone moved from “gut instinct” to using a clearer checklist when deciding what to back.
