David King turned his green thumb into a thriving Toronto-based digital-first plant business, co-founding Promise Supply in 2020 after a decade of working across events, real estate, and tech.
His experience growing a commercial space marketplace, evangelizing content creators, and training AI support bots (in 2016) have enabled David to take novel approaches to grow in a traditional industry.
Today, Promise Supply helps customers build a deeper connection to nature indoors and outdoors by enriching the spaces where they live, work, and play with plants and botanicals. Their design-centric approach to incorporating greenery into homes, restaurants, retail, and office spaces has set the company apart.
Ultimately, David's goal is to create the best experience for discovering and ordering indoor and landscaping plants while considering the environmental implications of what and how the company selects and delivers products to clients.
Promise Supply encourages clients to reach out via text, phone, or social media, emphasizing communication in whatever way is easiest for them.
This focus has led the company to experiment with innovative ways to provide a seamless online and offline customer experience, which is why the company has been featured in multiple "Best Of" articles in publications, including BlogTO and HGTV.
As the company has grown, David continues to find ways to give back to the community and planet. Over the next few years, he plans to expand on previous initiatives, such as the rainforest protection program and end-of-season donations to support public Botanical Gardens.
