The Shift to Venture
Mark Wahlberg has built a varied career in entertainment spanning Academy Award nominations and major film blockbusters, but his professional focus has increasingly expanded into business and venture investments.
Wahlberg will sit down with Bruce K. Lee, founder and CEO of Keebeck Wealth Management, on the main stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to discuss that professional progression.

Expanding Beyond Entertainment
Over the past two decades, Wahlberg has established a production company, a restaurant chain, apparel and fitness ventures, and a slate of angel investments. At Disrupt, he will outline how he translated his success in the film industry into major external projects.
Institutional Discipline
Wahlberg has increasingly adopted institutional-level investing discipline with Lee as his guide, placing a growing focus on healthcare and wellness startups. The discussion aims to provide insight into how high-profile figures navigate sophisticated rooms in business and finance.
The conversation will also touch on common missteps made by high-profile entertainers and athletes, leveraging career trust to drive deal flow, and the specific technologies he is currently focusing on.
