Sentences should start with anything that makes grammatical and syntactical sense. Writers create, so create your own rules. As long as they make sense, your reader will understand.

Your example is actually a gerund, which does act as a noun, but consider these:

"To be or not to be?" (Starts with a preposition.)
"Brilliantly, he began his sentence with a verb." (Starts with an
adverb.)
"Skilled and astute, he quickly posted his question on Stack
Exchange." (Starts with an adjective.)
"And even some sentences can start with conjunctions." (Starts with
... a conjunction.)

I believe that all of these are correct.
