During his third year at university, he founded Integer, initially a website design business, with capital of 20,000 złoty ($5,000 as of 1999). After several money-losing months, the company switched to distributing leaflets and became successful.

In 2019, Brzoska married the Polish journalist and television personality Omenaa Mensah. They have one son, Vincent, who was born in 2017. Brzoska has two daughters from a previous relationship.

As of 2021 Brzoska's net worth is estimated at 5 billion złoty (1.3 billion USD)
