How do I to set up a new Apple TV without a remote

i had just gotten a new apple tv and I lost the remote before I could the it up. I can’t pair my phone to it because it is still just on the “hello” screen is there any way to set it up without having to buy a new remote for now?

You will need the physical Apple TV remote to do the initial setup.

You can buy a replacement remote. Or maybe you can borrow one from a friend or relative?
