The "beginning" of Drigung Kagyu can be understood on many different levels from myriad contexts and points of view.
In so far as Drigung Kagyu is a practice-lineage that is blessed with the unbroken transmission of the Dharma originating from the Dharmakaya Vajradhara, it has "no beginning." On another level, Drigung Kagyu "began" with the establishment of the monastic community at Drigung Valley in 1179 by Kyobpa Rinpoche Jigten Sumgön.
From this perspective, Drigung Kagyu - like any living lineage - is continuously "beginning," vibrantly and dynamically unfolding and blooming for the benefit of all sentient beings.
