Cheap alternative to motorized sit-stand desk: standing desk + tall chair, like one you get in pubs. I wish I had tried that before investing into motorized one - it would be more hip.
For about month after I moved I've used a ghetto standing desk (https://plus.google.com/115482397571066363629/posts/1gvjDnfJTzb https://plus.google.com/115482397571066363629/posts/1gvjDnfJ...). I would stand for most of the working day with a two hours sitting break in a nearby cafe.
I'm using sit-stand desk for two years and it's the only reason I'm renting an office again after moving and not using co-working places.
I'm switching every hour or two and never sit-down until I'm ready to focus on code (no sitting while doing email, procra^H^H^Hresearch. Then I switching the desk to sitting position, turning off IM and email, start pomodoro timer, put on a headset and play some music and switch terminal with Vim to full-screen.
In a startup I'd probably get one or two spare standing desks so that people could move there with their laptops for a while (besides mandatory couch).
